The spy game

One morning in 1961, eight-year-old Anna's mother disappears into the fog forever. That same morning a spy case breaks in the news - the case of the Krogers, apparently ordinary people who were not who they said they were. Obsessed by stories of the Cold War, Anna's brother Peter begins to construct a theory that their mother, a refugee from eastern Germany, was a spy working undercover and might even still be alive. As life returns to normal, Anna struggles to sort between fact and fantasy. Did her mother have a secret life?
